Middle-earth: Shadow of War Wiki Guide

Ghuls

Ghuls are small creatures that burrow out of underground nests - often found in cave-like regions of Cirith Ungol. Once out of the ground, they tend to swarm opponents, or spew poison in large globs that can cover an area - and enough fighting may eventually trigger the arrival of the stronger Ghul Matron.

With certain Captains being terrified, vulnerable, or enraged by Ghuls, you can often find Ghul Nests that look a lot like spider pods in certain areas, often times hiding under wagons, or on Outpost walls, and will trigger the arrival of Ghuls in great numbers.
